Israel stockpiled chemical weapons decades ago – CIA document RT | September 11, 2013Israel is believed to have secretly built up its own stockpile of chemical and biological weapons decades ago, reports Foreign Policy, citing a recently unearthed CIA document.
American surveillance satellites uncovered in 1982 “a probable CW
[chemical weapon] nerve agent production facility and a storage
facility… at the Dimona Sensitive Storage Area in the Negev Desert,”
states the secret 1983 CIA intelligence estimate obtained by Foreign Policy(FP). “Other CW production is believed to exist within a well-developed Israeli chemical industry,” the document adds.
According to FP, US intelligence agencies are almost certain
that Israel possesses a stockpile of nuclear weapons that the Middle
Eastern country developed in the 1960s and 1970s as part of its defense
against a possible attack from Arab neighbors.

The FP report is based on a page from a secret, Sept. 15,
1983, CIA Special National Intelligence Estimate entitled “Implications
of Soviet Use of Chemical and Toxin Weapons for US Security Interests.”
Part of the document was released in 2009 in the National Archives, but
the piece on Israel was extracted from that version.

For years, arms control analysts have speculated that Israel built up
a range of chemical and biological weapons to complement its alleged
nuclear arsenal.Experts’ attention, in particular, was focused on the Israel
Institute for Biological Research (IIBR) at Ness Ziona, located 20
kilometers south of Tel Aviv. The highly-classified research center
operated and funded by the Israel Ministry of Defense is alleged to be a
military facility manufacturing chemical and biological weapons. The
IIBR was allegedly involved in several “accidents.” In one of them,
according to the British Foreign Report in 1998, authorities were close
to ordering evacuation of homes in the area before scientists discovered
there was no threat to the population.However, to date not much evidence has been published about Israel
possessing chemical or nuclear weapons. The newly-discovered CIA memo
may be the strongest indication yet, FP writes.“While we cannot confirm whether the Israelis possess lethal chemical
agents,” the CIA document is quoted as saying, “several indicators lead
us to believe that they have available to them at least persistent and
non-persistent nerve agents, a mustard agent, and several riot-control
agents, marched with suitable delivery systems.”image from http://www.foreignpolicy.comThe “non-persistent agent” mentioned in the secret document was
likely sarin – a nerve gas that was allegedly used in the August 21
chemical weapons attack in a Damascus suburb, FP writes. The US blamed
the Syrian government for the attack and threatened to launch a military
strike in response.The 1983 CIA memo reveals that US intelligence was aware of Israeli
alleged chemical weapons-testing activities since the early 1970s – when
they learned from intelligence sources about the existence of chemical
weapons testing grounds. It is almost certain that these test areas were
located in Negev Desert, in southern Israel, FP writes.Israel stepped up its research and development work on chemical
weapons following the end of the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, according to the
CIA document. The war began when Egypt and Syria launched a joint
surprise attack against Israel as the nation was celebrating Yom Kippur –
the most sacred day in the Jewish calendar.
“Israel, finding itself surrounded by frontline Arab states with
budding CW capabilities, became increasingly conscious of its
vulnerability to chemical attack,” the document says. “Its sensitivities
were galvanized by the capture of large quantities of Soviet CW-related
equipment during both the 1967 Arab-Israeli and the 1973 Yom Kippur
wars. As a result, Israel undertook a program of chemical warfare
preparations in both offensive and protective areas.”
The report also claims that in January 1976, American intelligence
detected “possible tests” of Israeli chemical weapons very likely to
have taken place in the Negev Desert. FP cites a former US Air Force
intelligence officer, who told the magazine that the National Security
Agency intercepted communications indicating that Israeli air force
fighter-bombers carried out a simulated low-level chemical weapons
delivery missions at a bombing range in the Negev.1NIE on Israeli Chemical WeaponsIt is unknown whether Israel still keeps its alleged stockpile of
chemical weapons. In 1992, the Israeli government signed the Chemical
Weapons Convention, which outlaws such arms. Crucially, however, Israel
has not ratified the agreement.The author of the FP article claims that after a search on Google
Maps, he found what he believes to be “the location of the Israeli nerve
agent production facility and its associated chemical weapons storage
area” in the Negev Desert east of the village of al-Kilab, about 10
miles west of the city of Dimona.The Israeli embassy in Washington did not respond to FP’s requests to comment on the article.The CIA document emerged as the US mulls over a possible “limited”
military strike against the Syrian regime that President Barack Obama
was pushing for following the chemical weapons attack last month.On Tuesday, Obama the urged the US Congress to postpone a vote to authorize military action, and said he was seeking a diplomatic solution to the ongoing Syrian war. Obama cited the Russian proposal to
put Syria’s chemical weapons under international control among the
reasons for the delay. Damascus has this week agreed to hand over its
chemical weapons to international supervisors, and to sign the Chemical Weapons Convention.

[ed notes:the director general for opcw is an ex turkish ambassador,wich makes him hardly impartial or unbias to chair opcw,not that it matters now,in fact it places him directly ina position to strengthen zionist turkish gov's campaign of propaganda aimed at inciting an illegal invasion and occupation of Syria..
